Description

The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Based on Philip Barry's Broadway hit, which also starred Katharine Hepburn, this sensational screwball comedy is helmed by legendary director George Cukor. Hepburn is sublime as the cold goddess Tracy Lord who finds love and romance on the eve of her own wedding. C.K. Dexter Haven, her happy go lucky ex-husband, is played to perfection by Cary Grant, with James Stewart and Ruth Hussey co-starring as a pair of cynical party-crashing reporters. This classic, beautiful poster has been professionally restored to address corner pinholes, a tear in the lower left corner, minor crossfold wear, a small chip in the top center border, and creasing in the lower right. This is Hollywood at its very best. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.
